Split from this thread by Geoff

Stupid offtopic question: Shouldn't meters be integer?

Even if the downloadable version is a hardly playable tech demo it is still beneficial, IMO, to already start balancing it. Could provide better insight making later stages of development easier.

It's not clear what you mean by that, but my response is most likely "no". Why and (how) should they be?

v.3 design document wrote:
Meters always range from 0-100. For greater granularity, meters can be modified in fractions of a full step. As a side note, the effects of a building or technology on a meter should almost always be expressed as integers (eg. "Superlabs gives +4 to research"), and the value of a meter should be rounded to the nearest integer on the UI.


I think that's what he means...

However, iirc, he was referring to the population which afaik is not a meter.
